We'll I've been having tranny problems for a while, started off as grinding from 1st to 2nd at redline, then grinding from 4th to 5th near redline, now it grinds all the time from 4th to 5th and 6th to 5th. I brought it in two weeks ago and suposedly they are going through the process of requesting another tranny from Nissan. Well looks like I'll have to give them a call tomorrow and tell them to hurry up the process. Driving home tonight, perfectly normal might I add, I attempt to put it into 4th and its like a brick wall. I have no idea why, other than the fact that I have a bad tranny.
Oh well, I'm not really mad, I knew about the potential of having a problem unfortionatly when I bought the car, as long as it gets resolved soon I'll be fine with it. How long does the process take from the time the dealer requests a new tranny, until they actually recieve it?

 

On a 2005?!?! Im getting worried...

 

been there.. done that... got the "i'm on tranny 3" shirt...

Sucks don't it?

I have heard nothing about any changes (improvements) to the 2006 tranny either, so what does that tell ya?

Every time I read one of these "oh my tranny got fried threads" it really makes me wonder why I still read and research this car at all anymore

Sure wish Nissan would have fixed this d@mn problem. The tire feathering I could live with but I can't afford these kinds of problems on a daily driver, though shouldn't have to deal with these on any car, less than 5 years old.

 

Just got off the phone with my dealer and they're ordering me a new tranny, should be here in a few days they said. As annoying of a problem as it is, I have to commend Nissan for the fact that it seems like in most cases they resolve the problem as fast as posible. I just cant wait to start driving my car normally again haha.

 

Does the t-shirt have Nissan or NISMO logo?

 

I just had mine replaced at 44k or so, but it's blown probably since 25k or so. I guess I better extend my warranty, looks like this one will be going soon at this rate

 

i'll check when i get it out of the packaging

 

this is still happening on the 05's? Nissan really needs to rethink the tranny design for these cars.

 

You guys make me paranoid about my tranny.

 

Dont be too surprised... i have an 05 SRT4 along with ym 350Z, fucing neons... 8k miles on it... broken tranny 3 times... dodge is buying it back under the lemon law though... THANK GOD..

 

SRT-4 owns all, woot nukka woot!!

 

On an 05?!?! Uh oh..

 

I have an 03 with 28K on it and very rarely will I hear a small grind from 4th to 5th gear. I'm getting worried though now. How long is the powertrain warranty for Nissan? 4-50K? Damn...

 

Well for whatever its worth 4th gear came back I dont really know why, I drive it to and from my college this morning, it was gone, then I was driving around a little while ago and 4th was there again. Who knows. Anyways, for whatever its worth I'm one of the only ones with an 05 tranny who experienced the grinding so dont worry too soon, maybe it was me? I drive pretty normal though I think. Oh well, after all this I still love my car lol.

 

60 months powertrain warranty. Thats 5 years from in service date of car. 03 Zs should be Ok until end of 07. Check In service date.

 

Damn PJ that sucks man

Hope your back up and rolling soon

 

Hey Sav man whats up, I'll be back up in no time haha. BTW you get my message today? Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.

 

Hey guys.. I have an '05 as well so you guys have me worried. Is the tranny covered under our powertrain warranty? Since none of us have had the car for more than 60 months, did anyone have to pay anything to replace their tranny at all?
